My Two Cents

Allhumdolillah! I am at a much better place since my last post with series of lab tests, utlrasounds, a mammogram and some other really scary tests, and a gut wrenching anxiety of results. I am doing well thankfully everything was clear except low iron levels with vitamin d3 deficiency. These deficiencies are now on their way to recovery. It is worth noting that I have been struggling with intense brain and physical fatigue since 2019 but not a single doctor was able to identify my problem. Once somebody is diagnosed with depression or anxiety then every health issue they complain about is looked from the psychological lenses. Nobody asked me to check iron, vitamin b12 or vitamin d3 deficiencies even my mum who is a dermatologist always assured me that I am fine and this weakness is just a phase.   It was a phase alright, it engulfed almost 8 years of my life pushed back my career and research ambitions.  This is not the case alone with me but there are many people who silentl...

Baby’s day out

I am intimated and embarrassed due to my friend’s baby boy who is hardly two years old. This baby who is only in this world for less than two years, he cannot even speak properly, and have just learned to walk is operating IPad like a pro. His grandfather asks him to open GEO News on his Ipad and he quickly does that. I wish I could show you the video. What is going on here, where am I living or more appropriately which era do I belong to? I mean this is crazy, even after a year of using a Smartphone I still can’t figure out how to send a business card. Until two months ago I didn’t even know that there is something like viber or whatsapp, it was only after my Acupressure & Reiki professor begged me to install & use these apps I began using this stuff. She said, ‘today even a 70 year old person is far more tech savvy than you’. I was a person who would keep my cellphone miles away from my room on a stand at the dining table in the lounge. If my callers were ...

June, Budget & Thoughts

Budget, budget oh dear budget has arrived. And I must say what a killer it is... Have you ever experienced confusion in feeling your emotions, like when you don’t know that whether you are afraid or worried; anxious or angry. Today I am having that confusion because I have no clue whether I am feeling the heat of this weather or the fear of budget. May be its both, but frankly for the people who have stable income and a comfortable lifestyle can somehow bear this burden. Nevertheless, millions of people in this poverty stricken country are living in dire circumstances, with no hope of any betterment. Would they be able to handle this humongous financial pressure? In the midst of extremely fragile law and order situation in the country electricity, food items and basic necessities of life are already beyond the reach of a common man; and now with this new budget I fear that their survival is threatened. We seriously need a miracle. So lets pray that this moment of ...

Love is it?

Sleepless nights, muscular cramps, sudden anxiety pangs, lack of energy due to under-eating & insomnia, with your mind at one place and the heart in another and to top it all- is always feeling that there is something more to give in the relationship. Commonly these symptoms would indicate two things, either a psychological condition or falling in love. But who knew until yesterday that teaching two classes of MBA would do this to me. Yes for past 4 months I couldn’t sleep or eat properly and that is also the main reason behind my vanishing from the blog for longer periods. And it was only yesterday when I submitted the results for both of my classes I realized that all these months of such immense responsibility changed everything for me. I suddenly realized that unconsciously I have become a parent to all my students and like a mother I am constantly worried for their careers, grades and progress. I have suddenly grown up. Going to take a class seems so ea...
